It is evident from Chandler Jones’ recent posts on social media that he may be experiencing a mental health crisis. His posts have been erratic, and he appears to be struggling with his well-being. It would be beneficial for someone on his team to intervene and take away his access to social media to prevent further harm to his mental state. While social media can be a valuable tool for communication and self-expression, it can also exacerbate mental health issues, and in this case, seems to be doing more harm than good. It is essential that Chandler receives the support and care he needs during this challenging time.
In the journal entries, Jones said that “5 to 7” Las Vegas Fire Department officials came to his front door and told him he had been put on a “court hold” by the Las Vegas Police Department.
“I haven’t done anything wrong. The police said people were concerned about me because of my posts online,” he wrote, adding that once in an ambulance he was “injected” with an undisclosed substance even though he didn’t give consent.
He said he was taken to Southern Hills Hospital in Las Vegas and “then transferred to Seven Hills where they tried to force me to take meds & injections.”
Jones wrote he called Ziegler “6 to 7 times asking for help and I wondered if he had me put in here, but he never answered.” He said he left voicemails with Ziegler and is just trying to figure out why the Raiders won’t allow him in the facility or to be a part of the team.
“I’m still confused on what I did wrong. I’m stuck here. I’m very sane,” he wrote adding “I’m to strong of a person to be mentally broken.”
The Raiders have repeatedly referred to Jones’ situation as a private matter and declined further comment.
Jones was inactive for the first two games and after being put on the NFL list also missed the Raiders’ Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Jones, 33, is in the second season of a three-year, $51 million free agent contract he signed last year.
The journal entries are very disturbing and they paint a picture of a person who is in need of help.
Please keep Jones in your thoughts and prayers.
